Eli Lilly’s COVID-19 antibody-drug has been granted emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), widening access to a therapy that has shown improvement in treating patients with mild to moderate cases of the CCP virus.
Data from a late-stage trial last month showed that Eli Lilly’s combination therapy of two antibodies, bamlanivimab and etesevimab, helped cut the risk of hospitalization and death in COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, in patients by 70 percent.
